Fabric care for the sofa you love- a stitch in time saves nine!


When we as connoisseurs of designer objects, who want to own something for our home or office, we want something that wins our heart- something we fall in love with. Take an example of the sofa for instance- to get the one that fits the bill- we search, go places, spend time, energy and money to ultimately get the one- that becomes our proud possession. Then it becomes a part of your life- then we want it to be fresh as ever, in an upright and intact condition. This asks for thoughtful care of the sofa regularly.

Types of fabrics of Sofas
Sofa fabric types can be divided into natural fibres, synthetics, and leather. With many variations in each category, there's a sofa fabric to fit everyone's decorating needs.

Natural fibres
Natural fibres include plant-based cotton and linen, along with silk and wool. Rayon, the modern natural fibres, is made from processed wood pulp and has a texture and luster similar to silk. You're probably familiar with these fabrics as garments, and they'll have similar properties on a sofa, but are more densely woven. Cotton, linen, and wool are the most durable natural sofa fibres, but all are prone to damage from sunlight and moisture. Wool should be moth-proofed before use in upholstery. 

Synthetics
Synthetic fibres are petroleum-derived products. The most common synthetics for sofa fabrics are polyester or polypropylene, nylon, acrylic. These products are often blended with natural fibres to add durability and show resistance to stains and fading. Some synthetics are made to resemble natural fibres -- for example, acrylic is similar to wool in texture and appearance. Microfiber fabrics, usually made of polyester, is favoured by pet owners because it resists staining and claw marks.

Leather
Although leather is not a fabric, it's a luxury covering for sofas. The highest quality leather is top-grain, which uses the entire thickness of the hide and reveals the skin surface. Split-grain and suede leathers are thinner. These leathers can be dyed in a range of colors as well as the more natural-appearing browns and tans. 

Important tips for care of the soba fabric/upholstery

Regular cleaning
Avoid rubbing the sofa fabric- this can damage the area rubbed. Instead, mildly use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust particles. This if done at regular intervals can keep the sofa looking fresh.

Removing stains
If you spot the stain, remove it immediately. The older stain is difficult to remove. Vacuum your couch so you're not rubbing in dirt or debris while cleaning. Use vinegar or carbonated water or baking soda paste mixed with water to remove the stain. Dampen a microfiber cloth with your cleaning solution. Gently blot any stained areas with the cloth. Test it before on a small area- let it dry- if looks alright- go ahead.

Fabric cleaners
You can use specialized fabric cleaners as per the sofa material. 
Sunlight and weather exposure
Avoid exposure - it can affect the upholstery in the long run.

Pilling
This can be treated by vacuum cleaner, You can also use a pill remover.
